Canon Conversations Canon New Zealand

Canon Ambassador Alisha Lovrich is just as much an athlete as she is photographer and because of this she has an innate understanding of what the people on the other side of her lens are going through. This allows her to see what other photographers can't and most importantly, gain the trust of her subjects. In this episode Canon NZ host Ben Journee will be chatting to Alisha about how she turned her two passions into an exciting career, and her experiences at some of the biggest sporting events from across the world including Olympic games in Tokyo.

In this episode, Canon New Zealand host Ben Journee explores how Te Rawhitiroa began his journey as a self taught photographer, the advice he's received along the way, and how he portrays stories of connection and emotion through photography.
